Baby news update
Well, sorry we don’t have many more pics as yet. We’re dealing with a little jaundice situation, involving an IV (which necessitated her getting moved to the NICU) but Aurora is responding well to treatment, so hopefully get some more good news on that today or tomorrow. Mindy’s doing better as well, though still on the antibiotics. It’ll be nice to get away from the damned IV pole at some point, hopefully tomorrow.

I’m not much for Bible quotes, but our recovery room here at Seton has a pretty good one posted:
Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord,
the fruit of the womb a reward.
Like arrows in the hand of a warrior
are the children of one’s youth.
Blessed is the man
who fills his quiver with them!
He shall not be put to shame
when he speaks with his enemies in the gate.
Apparently some translations say “sons” instead of the more contemporary “children” interpretation, and some say “contend” instead of “speak”. To which my friend Nate summed up: “Sons: they killz your enemiez.” Heh heh, gotta love that Old Testamenty material.
-D.

Cute baby you have there
Hope everything continues to improve. I’m very happy for you both!
Gotta ask, was the name inspired by Stargate? I hope so

Heh heh, not that I’m consciously aware of, but maybe it contributed. I wouldn’t discount it for sure. It’s very recently brought to my attention that this is Sleeping Beauty’s name as well.

I prefer the gospel according to LOU REED
“. . . teach’em how to plant a bomb, start a fire, play guitar,
n’if they catch a hunter
shoot’em in the nutz
. . .try to be as progressive as I can possibly be
as long as I don’t have to try too much”

Heh heh, so say we all, so say we all. It is the beginning of a great adventure.
